Paul Goydos took down the 2007 Sony Open with a 14-under-par aggregate and returns this week for another crack at Waialae Country Club.

Goydos found his way into the field thanks to his Past Champion status. His form is somewhat off-the-grid as he hasn't secured a top 25 since the 2011 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Goydos missed 14 of 18 cuts last season on the PGA TOUR but found instant success on the Champions Tour, winning the Pacific Links Hawai'i Championship. Given this week's event is held in Hawaii, he could be worth a look in salary-cap formats but he should not be relied upon. Jan 14 - 7:58 PM

In the final start on his Major Medical Extension, Paul Goydos settled for a two-way share of 70th place at the John Deere Classic.

Goydos started the day in a logjam at T35 and needed no worse than a two-way T2 to secure conditional status for the remainder of the season. Instead, he blew up for a 4-over 39-36=75 to post 3-under 281. Only a victory (and its two-year exemption) would have fulfilled the terms of the MME to retain status. Once the $9,447.00 he earned was plugged in, he came up short of the primary goal by $546,849 and conditional status by $373,634. For the record, Goydos will plummet into the Past Champions category, but he'll likely spend most of his time on the Champions Tour moving forward. Sun, Jul 13, 2014 06:30:00 PM

Paul Goydos reached the midpoint of The Greenbrier Classic in 8-over-par 73-75=148 and will miss the cut.

He erased five birdies with 10 bogeys and one triple (at the par-3 15th hole in the second round). It goes in the books as his eighth consecutive start without a payday and leaves him with just one start on his Major Medical Extension to earn $556,296 and retain status. He's scheduled to peg it at next week's John Deere Classic where he shot 59 in 2010. The purse is just $4.7 million, so only a victory would fulfill the terms of the MME. To secure conditional status, Goydos needs to bank $383,081, which would be achieved with a two-way T2 (worth $413,600). Short of that and he'll tumble into the Past Champions category. However, now that he's 50 years of age, he'd simply continue his competitive career on the Champions Tour. Fri, Jul 4, 2014 05:01:00 PM
